Gazala: Episode 1 — Rommel Comes Back
Rommel Comes Back opens the season with the sudden reversal that followed Operation Crusader, when British gains in the desert quickly unraveled under Rommel’s January 1942 counteroffensive. The episode explains why victory in North Africa was never secure unless it could be supplied, consolidated, and defended across enormous distances. It introduces the campaign’s central tension: the British had relieved Tobruk, but Rommel remained dangerous, mobile, and willing to turn any moment of overextension into crisis.
